Keep getting '404 Error' when trying to install MAS v1.3.3

[kyrctyn]

I have gone through the tutorial on how to install v1.3.3 SEVERAL times today, but I keep getting the '404 Not Found' error. I have gone through the files and found that 'config_adopts.php' (which I have changed to 'config.php') is empty... I have tried redownloading it, but it was still empty. Can someone please help, I want to get my site up as soon as possible. <:(

Did you remember to change the permissions?

[kyrctyn]

Yes. I've changed the permissions of everything that needed them to be changed.

Well um, it did you upload the files INSIDE the mys script? If you just unzipped and added the folder to public html, it might not work.

I do remember having this issue before, but I don't know how I fixed it.

What do you mean by upload? I've installed an older version of the v1.3.x series on a different site and I didnt need to do anything like that :/ And I only did what the v1.3.3 install tutorial said to do.

Don't you have to upload the files onto the host?

If the config file is empty, you've clearly not yet installed the script.

Thats the thing, I keep getting a '404 Not Found' error when I try to do that :/

Did your site/server work without this script? The way you described your issue was somewhat confusing, we need to find out where you actually are at. First of all, you have to upload files to your server through FTP. Second, you need to run the installer script. Lemme know which step you are stuck.

Yes and I did. I uploaded the files via FileZilla, gone through the files and changed the names/permissions of those that needed to be changed, and tried to install using http://hatchingmagic.x10.mx/install/index.php (as instructd here), but I kept getting a '404 Not Found' :/
